Yard report from Hoover, AL: Cahaba Valley Motors runs about 119 vehicles, weighted toward family SUVs and sedans. Dealer permit posted at the office window; checked against the state board and it is current, roughly 22 years on the books.
Lot address: 1595 Montgomery Hwy, Hoover, AL 35216. Visitor parking: Plaza stalls on Montgomery Hwy.
- Doc fee: $449, printed on the buyer's order — not a surprise line at signing.
- Pre-purchase inspection allowed on their lift or off-site — no pushback.
- Titles: staff says about 93% of units have title in hand; they showed the folder when asked.
- Coverage: no warranty — as-is, but any inspection welcome.
Lane verdict: workable but negotiate. The metal is fine; the add-on sheet (etch, nitrogen, prep) is where they make their margin. Strike the soft add-ons and the deal pencils.
